boy’s father. Seamus Heaney and Theodore Roethke both have shown the importance of the father role in their poems “Digging” and “My Papas Waltz.” Although the roles of the fathers in these poems were different, the respect and admiration shown by their sons is one in the same. Weather it is Heaney’s father digging under his window, or Roehtke’s father dancing him around as a little boy, the love shown in these two poems, shows a direct relation on the lives they shared with their fathers. Heaney’s

HIS FATHER’S SON The Short Story “My Father’s Life,” by Raymond Carver illustrates the difficult task of a son trying to find his own sense of identity and individualism while watching his father’s life unravel. Carver explores the relationships of his parents and his own struggle with sharing the same name with his father and the similarities and differences between them.

Readers either interpret the poem as telling the happy memory of a little boy playing with his father or as describing a scene of child abuse. From my point of view, the poem is more likely to be about the enjoyable time between the father and the son and I would explain this by discussing on the word choice, tone and rhythm of the poem. Before analyzing, the first thing to look at is the background of the poet, Theodore Roethke. Roethke’s father died of cancer when he was fifteen (Wikipedia)

"The Divided Self": Characterization, Identities, and the Supernatural A cursory first reading of Horace Walpole's Otranto might yield an impression that its characters are thoroughly superficial, shallow, and flat, almost to the point of being laughably so. A single character mold seems to have been applied to each character: Manfred is the incestuous tyrant, Hippolita is the helplessly devoted wife, Matilda is the picture of “tenderness and duty” (38), and Theodore is the chivalrous protector

Miller’s Death of a Salesman illuminated the dark side of the American Dream. In the play, we encountered Willy Loman at the most vulnerable time in his life. His world was falling apart. He lost his job, his dignity, and his relationship with his son, Biff, was in a precarious state. Unable to cope with all these problems, Willy began to lose his ability to distinguish illusion from reality, and in the end, he killed himself in despair. We might feel sympathetic toward Willy, but he brought all

When sons think about growing up and becoming adults, their fathers are their perfect role models. A son wants to have the same job as his father, have the same personality, and be able to impress his father to the best of his ability. When a father is absent from his son’s childhood, the son may try to live up to the stories he hears about his dad, while in other cases, the son may try to avoid any thought of how his father is portrayed. Without a father, a child often seeks out mentors to compensate

In Heaney’s, ‘Blackberry picking,’ he sets the poem within two uneven stanzas, depicting the romantic memories of nature that humans often feel, then contrasting it with the result of their greed and disappointment. The poem’s fast flowing rhyming couplets add a softness and sweetness to the poem, allowing taste connotations of the blackberries when they at at their ripest. In addition, it almost becomes a musical lit, without any rigidity to hold back Heaney’s emotions. At the beginning of the
